Jag utgår från mitt minne av en plats för att se vad som händer när jag skapar en ny plats. Var hamnar jag med detta, när jag inte utgår från de vanliga utgångspunkterna inom inredningsarkitektur så som funktion, behov och efterfrågan. Finns det andra värden som vi bortser ifrån, som vi som människor behöver? Jag formger landskap som väller in i både stadsrummet och de offentliga rummen för att omprogrammera platser som är i desperat behov av något nytt - andra värden än effektivisiering och funktionalisering. Ur minnet växer något nytt fram, en ny plats gror.

Taretto, Erika. "Poets and places : sites of literary memory in the Hellenistic world." Thesis, Durham University, 2017. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/12223/.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues for the existence of a widespread yet underexplored Hellenistic habit of linking the memory of archaic and classical Greek poets to specific places. Through a combination of in-depth case studies and a panoramic overview of Hellenistic sites of literary memory, the dissertation establishes the significance of literary geographies and explores the means through which they were established. The first chapter focuses on the house of Pindar and its alleged treatment on the part of Alexander the Great. The second chapter investigates the memorialisation of Homer in Alexandria, showing that the desire to shape literary geographies fundamentally shapes the identity of the new Egyptian city. The third chapter moves from the centre to the periphery of the Hellenistic world and focuses on the best documented case of a site of memory dedicated to an ancient poet: the Archilocheion on Paros. The fourth and last chapter offers an overview of the evidence for Hellenistic sites dedicated to the memory of archaic and classical poets in the Hellenistic age. By demonstrating that sites of literary of memory are an important Hellenistic aspect of the reception of poetry, this dissertation hopes to open the way to further studies about both the Hellenistic and later literary geographies.

Mace, Stephanie Ewing. "The Places that Became Home: a Collection of Short Stories and Memories." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2017. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1532.
Full textAbstract:
This is a collection of short stories and memories from the eight places that I have lived. Through these stories and memories, I reflect on themes of identity and community. I also consider the idea of home: what defines a home, how we make a place feel like a home, and what transforms a city or a town into a home. Each chapter also includes my own original designs and photographs.
The stories about Sharon and Westwood, small towns in Massachusetts, focus on childhood and familial relationships. The narratives about St. Louis, Missouri and Toluca Lake, California, consider the transition from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the memories from Claremont, California, Silver Lake, California and Santa Monica, California all meditate on the idea of belonging. Lastly, the recollections from London, England, contemplate how a foreign city can become a home.

Os Centros de Memória da Educação Física e Esporte (CMs) das universidades federais brasileiras são lugares de memória e espaços privilegiados na produção da História da Educação Física e dos esportes. O objetivo geral deste trabalho foi analisar o movimento de constituição desses centros, buscando entender as condições teóricas, estruturais e pessoais que tornaram possível sua permanência ou descontinuidade de atuação. Para tanto, adotei o recorte temporal de 1996 a 2014, período compreendido entre a criação do primeiro centro e a do mais recente, respectivamente o Centro de Memória do Esporte da Escola de Educação Física, Fisioterapia e Dança da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul e o Memorial do Centro de Educação Física e Desporto da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Fundamentada no aporte teórico-metodológico da História Cultural e da História Oral, analisei a trajetória de dez Centros de Memórias da Educação Física, destacando aspectos relacionados ao trabalho que estas instituições vêm desenvolvendo há mais de 20 anos. Para tanto, utilizei fontes de naturezas diversas obtidas por meio de pesquisas em bases de dados e em publicações acadêmicas e não acadêmicas, além do material coletado nas observações que realizei em quatro centros e da realização de 36 entrevistas. Os CMs analisados foram criados por iniciativa de docentes, que em sua maioria realizavam pesquisas historiográficas A continuidade do trabalho de alguns CMs se deu pela ampliação de ações de preservação, pela realização de atividades de pesquisa e pela divulgação do acervo que guardam. Porém alguns CMs também tiveram momentos de redução ou descontinuidades de suas tarefas cotidianas, principalmente por afastamento de professores/as e dificuldades de infraestrutura. Olhando para as diferentes trajetórias analisadas e com base em autores da área das Ciências da Informação, entendo que os CMs são lugares de memória universitários, que se propõem a guardar, recuperar, preservar, divulgar, pesquisar e produzir registros sobre a memória e a História da Educação Física. Eles também são locais para reunir e formar pessoas. Seus acervos têm especificidades, mas são compostos em sua maioria por materiais vinculados às instituições que os abrigam e a docentes que fizeram parte dos seus quadros. Constituindo-se como parte da universidade, têm uma estrutura mínima garantida que os tornam possíveis, mas também enfrentam dificuldades de adequação de espaços e formação da equipe com profissionais. Possuem uma diversidade de atividades que integram formação, investigação e acesso à informação pela comunidade de dentro e fora das instituições, o que revela uma incorporação da cultura e função social da universidade. Por fim, destaco que a criação dos CMs foi influenciada e possibilitada pela formação de um quadro docente a partir de referenciais da renovação historiográfica da Educação Física brasileira. Essas pessoas se envolveram no cotidiano dos CMs por motivos acadêmicos e também por um envolvimento pessoal e por um compromisso político com a História da Educação Física e dos esportes.The Centers of Memory of Physical Education and Sports (CM) of Brazilian federal universities are places of memory and privileged spaces in the production of Physical Education and Sports History. The general objective of this Word is to analyze the movement of constitution of these centers, seeking to understand the theoretical, structural and personal conditions which made possible its permanence or discontinuity of action. Therefore, I adopted the temporal cut-off from 1996 to 2014, the period between the creation of the first center and the most recent, respectively, Centro de Memória do Esporte da Escola de Educação Física, Fisioterapia e Dança of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul and Memorial do Centro de Educação Física e Desporto of Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Based on the theoretical and methodological contribution of Cultural History and Oral History, I analyzed the trajectory of ten Centers of Memory of Physical Education, highlighting aspects related to the work these institutions have been developing for over 20 years. To do so, I used sources of different natures obtained through research in databases and in academic and non-academic publications, as well as the material collected in the observations that I made in four centers and the accomplishment of 36 interviews. The CM analyzed were created on the initiative of professors, who mostly carried out historiographical research. The continuity of the work of some CM occurred by the expansion of preservation actions, the achievement of research activities and the dissemination of the collection they hold. However, some CM also had moments of reduction or discontinuity of their daily tasks, mainly due to professors' withdrawal and infrastructure difficulties. Looking at the different trajectories analyzed and based on authors from Information Sciences scope, I understand that CM are university places of memory, which are intended to store, retrieve, preserve, disseminate, research and produce records about memory and history of Physical Education. They are also places to gather and train people. Its collections have specificities, but are composed mostly of materials linked to the institutions that house them and the teachers who were part of their staff. Constituted as part of the university, they have a minimum guaranteed structure that make them possible, but also face difficulties of spaces adequacy and gather the team with professionals. They have a diversity of activities that integrate training, research and access to information by the community inside and outside the institutions, which reveals an incorporation of the university's culture and social function. Finally, I point out that the creation of the CM were influenced and made possible by the formation of a teaching group based on the references of the historiographic renovation of Brazilian Physical Education. These people became involved ordinarily with CM for academic reasons and also for personal involvement and political commitment to the Physical Education and Sports History.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s'intéresse à un ensemble d'objets qui matérialisent différents types de souvenirs au sein des Alpes Occidentales. L'originalité de ces artefacts réside dans leur nature même : ils figurent tous l'idée de montagne sous diverses formes et pour différents motifs. Il s'agit tout aussi bien de monuments érigés au détour d'une rue ou sur une place centrale pour commémorer un exploit, une catastrophe ou l'oeuvre d'un homme en relation avec la montagne, que de stèles funéraires, profilées à l'image de sommets, érigées ça et là dans les cimetières, ou encore de plaques scellées à même le roc de la montagne.A partir d'une réflexion sur le façonnement de ces artefacts qui jouent avec la figure de la montagne, cette recherche interroge le rôle de l'espace dans les processus mémoriels et identitaires. Elle propose une lecture interobjective par l'identification, la spatialisation et la généalogie des différentes manières de mettre en scène le souvenir. Elle aborde également à partir de récits produits dans deux contextes spécifiques (Bessansen Haute-Maurienne (Savoie), Chamonix en Haute-Arve (Haute-Savoie)), selon une approche intersubjective cette fois, les relations que les hommes nouent avec ces artefacts, qu'ils vivent quotidiennement au contact de ces derniers ou qu'ils les contemplent de manière tout à fait occasionnelle. Cette démarche et ce terrain permettent de dégager les enjeux identitaires de la mise en visibilité des souvenirs et de souligner le rôle de l'espace dans ces processus.Cette thèse défend l'idée que les artefacts sont centraux dans l'établissement des rapports sociaux. Ils participent à la construction des mondes de chacun et jouent un rôle actif dans les relations à soi et à l'autre autour d'un ensemble de jeux d'échelles et de métriques. Les artefacts du souvenir seraient donc à la fois un ferment et un révélateur du fonctionnement identitaire de la société. Cette thèse vise alors à montrer qu'à partir d'un tout petit objet, il est possible de saisir de nombreux enjeux du fonctionnement de la vie en société, qui s'expriment entre autres par la recherche, l'octroi, la tenue, la défense d'une place. C'est en cela une invitation au développement d'une micro-géographie attentive aux individus, à ce qu'ils disent, à ce qu'ils font, et à ce qui légitime leur place, celle qu'ils veulent tenir et celle qu'on leur fait tenir, à travers les rapports sociaux qui se nouent et se dénouent autour de ces artefacts.

Previous issue date: 2011-06-03The narratives of the local writers can be thought as texts that convey cultural representations and symbolic productions that references places, people, groups, events, celebrations, customs and knowledge. The literature of these writers is linked to an autobiographical writing that travels between their own experiences and events collected through the testimonies. The analysis of the texts of these authors that record the memories linked to the collective memory discloses one version of the symbolic construction of community from the standpoint of a subject who lived and was involved in local events. Based on this assumption, this research calls into question the literature Valdon Varjão in counterpoint to his biography in order to understand this version of the collective memory of Barra do Garças - MT. By entering in the narratives of this writer, one can perceive how he builds on its literature, a dynamic between the events, groups, customs and images on Barra do Garças - MT.
As narrativas dos escritores locais podem ser pensadas como textos que transmitem representações culturais e como produções simbólicas que trazem referências de lugares, pessoas, grupos, acontecimentos, celebrações, costumes e saberes. A literatura desses escritores está vinculada a uma escrita autobiográfica que transita entre as próprias experiências e os acontecimentos recolhidos através dos testemunhos. A análise dos textos desses autores que registram as suas lembranças vinculadas à memória coletiva possibilita o entendimento de uma versão da construção simbólica da comunidade a partir do ponto de vista de um sujeito que vivenciou e se envolveu nos acontecimentos locais. Partindo desse pressuposto, esta dissertação coloca em discussão a literatura de Valdon Varjão em contraponto com sua biografia com o objetivo de compreender esta versão da memória coletiva de Barra do Garças MT. Ao ingressar nas narrativas desse escritor, é possível perceber o modo como ele constrói, em sua literatura, uma dinâmica entre os acontecimentos, grupos, costumes e imagens sobre Barra do Garças - MT.

Full textAbstract:
Esta tese surge de um cruzamento teórico-conceptual entre a sociologia do turismo e os
estudos de turismo para analisar a complexidade dos lugares, das movimentações e do
quotidiano, particularmente no que respeita aos “lugares turísticos”. Estudar a construção
da realidade social dos lugares turísticos e os processos manifestos e latentes através dos
quais a memória e a identidade ajudam à construção sociocultural de um lugar turístico é
tanto mais importante e relevante na agenda sociológica quanto as sociedades
contemporâneas são caracterizadas pela diversidade e complexidade. Paralelamente, o
turismo de raízes, turismo ancestral, turismo de linhagem ou turismo genealógico têm
contribuído para adensar o interesse e a investigação em torno de um tipo particular de
turismo onde o turista procura principalmente uma busca pela identidade, em suma, uma
extensão do seu eu. O objeto proposto para o presente estudo levanta questões ligadas às
identidades, memórias, culturas, lugares, espaços e territórios. As identidades constituemse
como uma herança de significados, ligados à constituição de uma memória e de um
discurso que legitima a ideia de pertença. Desse modo, a memória é importante no
processo de formação identitária dos grupos, o que os leva a buscar fazer-se conhecer e
reconhecer como um processo histórico dentro de uma determinada sociedade. A
identidade, para além de destacar características, também diferencia um grupo e uma
sociedade das outras. Considerando o acima mencionado, este trabalho é orientado pelas
seguintes perguntas de partida: Qual o processo de construção sociocultural da realidade
social de um “lugar turístico”? Qual o lugar reservado à memória e identidade nesse
processo? Especificamente, a análise incidiu sobre Malanje (Angola). Em concreto, o
trabalho assumiu como lugares turísticos três municípios dessa província: Kalandula,
Pungo Andongo e Cangandala. Foi desenvolvida uma investigação de tipo misto,
combinando a recolha de dados através de inquérito por questionário a angolanos
residentes em Malanje e visitantes de Malanje com entrevistas realizadas às autoridades
locais. O estudo conclui que a construção da realidade social veicula a identidade de
determinadas sociedades e destaca as memórias coletivas das comunidades nessa
construção. No caso da comunidade malanjina foi necessário olhar ao passado, mas
também ao presente, à história, à geografia, analisar memórias e compreender o seu papel
na construção das identidades locais. Observa-se que a construção sociocultural dos diversos lugares turísticos não se baseia somente nos grandes feitos da comunidade ou
nos grandes heróis. É a vivência, o dia-a-dia e o quotidiano das pessoas “comuns” que
constroem a realidade social, em conjunto com acontecimentos de maior destaque. A
análise dos dados permite ainda concluir que as memórias e identidades constroem-se em
torno de estruturas materiais, mas também de aspetos imateriais, destacando-se aí as
figuras das histórias, dos mitos e das lendas locais, que passam de geração em geração e
apropriada em modos e tempos distintos por visitantes e comunidade local; The sociocultural construction of tourist places. Memory and identity in Malanje
province (Angola) Abstract:
This thesis arises at a theoretical-conceptual crossroad between the sociology of tourism
and tourism studies to analyze the complexity of places, movements and daily life,
particularly with regard to "tourist places". Studying the construction of the social reality
of tourist places and the manifest and latent processes through which memory and identity
help the sociocultural construction of a tourist place is all the more important and relevant
in the sociological agenda as contemporary societies are characterized by diversity and
complexity. At the same time, roots´ tourism, ancestral tourism, lineage tourism or
genealogical tourism has contributed to intensify recent interest and research around a
particular type of tourism, where the tourist seeks mainly a search for identity, in short,
an extension of his self. The object proposed for the present study raises questions related
to identities, memories, cultures, places, spaces and territories. Identities are constituted
as an inheritance of meanings, linked to the constitution of a memory and a discourse that
legitimizes the idea of belonging. Thus, memory is important in the process of the identity
formation of groups, which leads them to make themselves known and recognized as a
historical process within a given society. In addition to highlighting specific
characteristics, identity also differentiates a group and a society from the others.
Considering the above, this work is guided by the following starting questions: What is
the process of socio-cultural construction of the social reality of a “tourist place”? What
place is reserved for memory and identity in this process? Specifically, the analysis
focused on Malanje (Angola). In particular, the work took as tourist places three
municipalities in that province: Kalandula, Pungo Andongo and Cangandala. A mixedmethods
study was carried out, combining the data collection through a questionnaire
survey of Angolans living in Malanje and visitors from Malanje with interviews with the
local authorities. The study concludes that the construction of social reality conveys the
identity of certain societies and highlights the collective memories of the communities in
this construction. In the case of the Malanjina community, it was necessary to look at the
past, but also at the present, at history, at geography, to analyze memories and understand
its role in the construction of local identities. It is observed that the socio-cultural construction of the various tourist places is not based only on the great deeds of the
community or on the great heroes. It is the experience, the day-to-day and daily life of
“ordinary” people who build social reality, together with major events. Data analysis also
allows one to conclude that memories and identities are built around material structures,
but also immaterial aspects, highlighting the figures of local histories, myths and legends,
which pass from generation to generation and are appropriate in different ways and times
by visitors and the local community.

Full textAbstract:
Ao longo das décadas de 60, 70 e 80, houve um crescimento da taxa de desemprego, em virtude da instalação dos novos arranjos industriais, que conduziram centenas de milhares de trabalhadores a buscar outros postos de trabalho, seja por meio de reciclagem profissional ou economia informal. Esse deslocamento no mercado de trabalho só é viável caso tenha à disposição transporte individual ou coletivo. Esta mercantilização do espaço urbano apontou para um movimento centro-periferia. Este deslocamento se relaciona com a desconcentração espacial e do trabalho e das empresas e centralização do capital. Estes processos incidiram de forma determinante nos serviços de transportes públicos, principalmente por ônibus. Eles mudaram conseqüentemente a configuração da paisagem e do espaço urbano do município de São Paulo. Este fato obrigou centenas de milhares de usuários de transportes coletivos a se adaptarem às novas rotas de comércio, de trabalho, de residências e itinerários de ônibus e de vida, para sobreviverem. Quando desaparecem os lugares socialmente construídos, (residências, praças, ruas, etc), estes se tornam parte das memórias dos habitantes. Tais registros de reminiscências, quando são resgatados, se cristalizam com a construção de uma História local, que se tece por meio das relações materiais de ontem e com as relações afetivas dos homens.The installation of new industrial settlements generated - throughout the decades of 1960, 1970 and 1980 - a growth in the rate of unemployment which may have compelled thousand of hundreds of workers to search for other workplaces. This happened into job recycling or assuming informal activities. Such a displacing in the market labor may only be feasible if there were at disposal public and /or individual transportation. Thus, a commercialization of the urban space succeeded in pointing to a centerperipheral movement. The displacement through the urban areas relates to space of decentralization of plants and labor and of the concentration of the capital. Such processes acted to building a new configuration of the urban transportation services, mainly bus services. They consequently changed the sceneries and the urban spaces of São Paulo town and environment. Such a fact compelled thousand of hundreds of transportation users to adapt to new routes of commerce, of work, of neighborhood so as bus itineraries, in order to maintain their incomes. The places socially constructed by the workers remain only in their memories after they are physically ruined. They become part of the memory of the inhabitants. A part of these memory are here brought back as a register of a Local History, that is woven through material relations in the past of the men and their present-day fondness.

This dissertation examines the role of Jesuino Brilhante at Cangaço and his possible place in the memory" representing a past that is so present in the social memory through the geography of representations. For such, we will approach this issue from an interpretive point of view, in reference to the passage of Cangaço trough the backwoods of Rio Grande do Norte and Paraíba. The contention that permeates this study is that which states that memory; imagination and representation are inextricably linked to the social-space production process. We seek a theorical approximation between the concepts of place-world, territory, memory, imagination and the social representations; we live in, exercising an interdisciplinary dialogue which maintains, however, a geographical bias peculiarity. Geography has scarcely explored the role of the imaginary component relating to socio-environmental and socio-spatial relations. The symbolism found in worldviews and the social imaginary are also components of geographical space. Some symbolic interpretations have, a certain spatial space, thereby giving it opportunity to appear to up till today. Oral history, memory, imagination and representations, were organized and expressed using the multiplicity of languages, within the history of the outlaw Jesuíno Brilhante. Thus, in regard to methodological aspects, Oral History and the Social Imaginary provided information that enabled us to understand better the feelings inherent to the social representations that have permeated the focus of the research. We could observe the appearance of beliefs, fantasies, reasoning, speculations and intuitions within the sanctioned system: a range of foundational elements that resulted from the activities of reasoning and imagination thus constituting the process of symbolization and the myth of this outlaw. This way, the Geography of Social Representations and the Social Imaginary denote a fragment of reality as an amalgamation, establishing a set of cultural and historical interpretations as well as collectively constructed experiences. We believe that the topic presented deserves more reflection, but we expect this work would strengthen the relevance of conducting research about the human beings in their plenitude, thereby, giving vocal opportunity to a diversity of previously marginalized social actors. As far as both cultural geography and oral history are concerned, we might have the opportunity to hear sacred, poetic, folkloric and mythical voices, the voices of reason and feeling, and the voices of human beings in their plenitude.
Esta dissertação analisa o papel de Jesuíno Brilhante no Cangaço e seus possíveis lugares de memória enquanto representações de um passado que se faz presente na memória social, através da Geografia das Representações. Para tanto partimos de um esforço interpretativo tendo como referência a passagem do cangaceiro pelos sertões do Rio Grande do Norte e da Paraíba. A argumentação que permeia este estudo é a de que memória, imaginário e representações estão intrinsecamente associadas ao processo de produção socioespacial. Buscamos uma aproximação teórica entre os conceitos de lugar-mundo vivido, território, memória, imaginário e representações sociais, exercitando um diálogo interdisciplinar, que mantém, todavia, a peculiaridade do viés geográfico. A Geografia tem um campo pouco explorado no papel do imaginário como componente das relações socioambientais e socioespaciais. Os simbolismos presentes nas visões de mundo e no imaginário social são também componentes do espaço geográfico. Algumas interpretações simbólicas têm, inclusive, certa origem espacial, que conduz a seu surgimento ainda nos dias de hoje. Tanto história oral, memória e imaginário quanto representações, se organizaram e se manifestaram numa multiplicidade de linguagens, dentro da história do Cangaço de Jesuíno Brilhante. Assim, no que tange aos aspectos metodológicos, a História Oral e o Imaginário Social forneceram elementos que nos possibilitaram melhor compreensão das produções de sentido inerentes ao caráter social das representações que perpassaram o foco da pesquisa. Dentro de sistemas sancionados apareceram crenças e fantasias, raciocínios e intuições: uma gama de elementos fundantes que resultaram das atividades da razão e da imaginação e constituíram o processo de simbolização e do mito do cangaceiro. Desse modo, a Geografia das Representações Sociais e o Imaginário social denotam um fragmento da realidade, como um amálgama, que institui histórica e culturalmente o conjunto das interpretações, das experiências vividas e construídas coletivamente. Consideramos que o tema apresentado merece mais reflexões, mas esperamos com este trabalho fortalecer a relevância de se pesquisar o ser humano na sua plenitude, dando oportunidade de voz aos diversos atores sociais antes marginalizados. A partir tanto da geografia cultural quanto da história oral, podemos ter a oportunidade de ouvir as vozes do sagrado, do poético, do folclórico, do mito, as vozes do sentimento e da razão, as vozes do ser humano em sua plenitude.

Full textAbstract:
The master’s thesis “Paisagens Literárias da minha cidade: uma leitura expressiva no Ensino Fundamental II de Palmeira dos Índios- AL”, shows thoughts, theoretical discussions and analysis of an intervention proposal in Portuguese Language teaching and its literature integrating expressive reading and poetic writing in a public school of Alagoas. In view of this, analyses how to develop the Portuguese Language teaching and its literature in school, the reading practice and the literary taste of the learners. This is the result of the pedagogical docent experience, mediating towards the aesthetic experience on the literary text – stories and poetry – and the interlacement of the artistic languages. The aim was to explore the concreteness of the literary text embracing criticality and protagonism of the participant individuals of the research through expressive reading and the watchful eye to the city, what happens in dialogue with the photography for the production of a literary imagery. The action is built by means of activities proposals, such as: reading and writing of literary narrative and poetic texts, panel making, field class in the school’s surrounding areas, city museums tour, seminary and photographic exhibition. For this purpose, it is based on the dialectical method and underpins in the conceptions postulated by Candido (1988), Freire (1996; 2011; 2014), Cosson (2014), Silva (1992; 1998; 2004), Rangel (2005), Ferrarezi Jr. (2014), Zumthor (1997; 2000), Horta (2005) e Santaella (2012) in connection with the constitutive themes of this research’s issue. The actions are set in a constant relation of constant knowledge and learning construction, increasing, with the literary text, the teachers’ worldviews, the memory and feeling of belonging in observing the reality around you – in your town, in your neighborhood – recognizing yourself as historical, social and political individuals.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
A dissertação “Paisagens Literárias da minha cidade: uma leitura expressiva no Ensino Fundamental II de Palmeira dos Índios-AL” apresenta as reflexões, discussões teóricas e análises de uma proposta de intervenção no ensino de Língua Portuguesa e sua literatura integrando leitura expressiva e escrita poética em uma escola pública de Alagoas. Nessa perspectiva, analisa como se desenvolve o ensino de língua portuguesa e sua literatura na escola, a prática da leitura e o gosto literário dos/as educandos/as. É fruto da experiência pedagógica docente, na mediação para a experiência estética com o texto literário – conto e poesia – e o entrelaçamento de linguagens artísticas. Buscou-se explorar a materialidade do texto literário adotando a criticidade e o protagonismo dos sujeitos partícipes da pesquisa através da leitura expressiva e do olhar atento para a cidade, o que ocorre em diálogo com a fotografia para a produção de uma imagética da literatura. A ação é construída por meio de propostas de atividades, como: leitura e escrita de textos literários narrativos e poéticos, confecção de painéis, aula de campo no entorno da escola, visita a museus da cidade, seminários e exposição fotográfica. Para tanto, fundamenta-se no método dialético e apoia-se nas concepções postuladas por Candido (1988), Freire (1996; 2011; 2014), Cosson (2014), Silva (1992; 1998; 2004), Rangel (2005), Ferrarezi Jr. (2014), Zumthor (1997; 2000), Horta (2005) e Santaella (2012) em conexão com os temas constitutivos da problemática desta pesquisa. As ações são estabelecidas numa relação constante de construção de saberes e aprendizados, ampliando, com o texto literário, a leitura de mundo dos/as educandos/as, a memória e o sentimento de pertencimento ao observar a realidade a sua volta – na sua cidade, no seu bairro – reconhecendo se como sujeitos históricos, sociais e políticos.

The relevance of studies of memory locations helps to understand the social relations existing in certain periods of the society. This research deals with the historical survey of Casa Godinho, grocery store from the late nineteenth century, the first recorded as intangible goods from the city of São Paulo, that has given its contribution to the culture and keep alive the memory of São Paulo. Based on the authors Nicholas Sevcenko, Ernani Bruno and Jorge Americano, treated growth and urban transformation of the city in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, as well as their social, urban and cultural transformation, emphasizing the importance of these changes for creating a new modus vivendi of people from São Paulo. The structural issues of the work, according to the Belle Époque, were important to understand the formation of elite values. The historical review of Casa Godinho was relevant in the sense that a memory location can be essential for the protection of the identity element, since the memory is rooted in the concrete, in space, in gesture, in the image, in the object. Given this assumption was used the support of Pierre Nora to draw a historical portrait of memory of Casa Godinho as a representative element in the cultural elite formation in Sao Paulo society. Its walls are filled with symbolic meanings that, in turn, contribute to unveil new facts and let draw records, saving them from oblivion, in hopes of preserving traditions, habits and customs to understand links with those who built the story, in a way to ensure the survival of memory locations. The final considerations confirm the initial hypothesis to rescue the grocery trade as a mean for the city as a space of identity forming, an environment of materialization of social relations which interact with the urban space. Casa Godinho is a memory core, a true living museum!
A relevância dos estudos dos lugares de memória ajuda a compreender as relações sociais existentes em determinados períodos da sociedade. A presente pesquisa trata do levantamento histórico da Casa Godinho, mercearia do final do século XIX que, registrada como o primeiro Bem Imaterial da cidade de São Paulo, tem dado sua contribuição para manter vivas a cultura e a memória do paulistano. Com base nos autores Nicolau Sevcenko, Ernani Bruno e Jorge Americano, tratou-se do crescimento e transformações urbanas da cidade no final do século XIX e início do século XX, bem como suas transformações sociais, urbanas e culturais, dando ênfase à importância dessas mudanças para a criação de um novo modus vivendi do paulistano. As questões estruturais da obra, segundo a Bélle Époque, foram importantes para compreender a formação dos valores da elite. O resgate histórico da Casa Godinho foi relevante no sentido de que um local de memória pode ser elemento essencial para a salvaguarda da identidade, pois a memória se enraíza no concreto, no espaço, no gesto, na imagem, no objeto. Diante desta premissa recorreu-se ao apoio de Pierre Nora para traçar um recorte histórico da memória da Casa Godinho, como elemento representativo na formação cultural da elite na sociedade paulistana. Suas paredes estão repletas de significados simbólicos que, por sua vez, contribuem para desvendar novos fatos e permitem elaborar registros, salvando-os do esquecimento, na esperança de preservar tradições, hábitos e costumes ao compreender vínculos com aqueles que construíram a história, numa forma de garantir a sobrevivência de lugares de memória. As considerações finais confirmam a hipótese inicial de resgatar a mercearia como um comércio significativo para a cidade, como um espaço formador da identidade, um ambiente de materialização das relações sociais que interagem com o espaço urbano. A Casa Godinho é um núcleo de memória, um verdadeiro museu vivo!

Gedächtnishöchstleistungen sind auch im Alter möglich. Dies konnte am Beispiel der »Methode der Orte« experimentell bestätigt werden. Hierbei hat sich gezeigt, daß das Gehirn über große kognitive Kapazitätsreserven verfügt. In einer speziellen Testmethode (»testing the limits«) zeigt sich aber im Hochleistungsbereich, trotz der grundsätzlichen Plastizität, ein altersbezogenes Nachlassen der Gedächtnismechanik. Offenbar gibt es biologische Grenzen in der Schnelligkeit der menschlichen Vorstellungskraft. Vielleicht gelingt es auf der Grundlage dieser Erkentnnis, einen zuverlässigen Markierungsindikator für das hirnphysiologische Altern zu finden. Daraus könnten sich auch neue Methoden zur Früherkennung von Demenzen ableiten lassen.A very high level of performance in memory is also possible in old age. This could be confirmed, for example, by experiments using the »method of loci«. It was shown that the human brain has available a large cognitive developmental reserve capacity. Nevertheless, a special method of assessment (»testing the limits«) revealed a robust age related decrease of memory mechanics at the high performance level despite this basic plasticity. Obviously, there are biologic limits of the speed of human imagination. Perhaps it will be possible to find a reliable marker of brainphysiologic aging based on this knowledge. Furthermore, new methods in early detection of dementias might be derived from the approach described.

Previous issue date: 2016-12-16This work presents a study about the work of Nelson Rodrigues, with a focus on the indissoluble relationship among the author, the narrator and his multiples in the literary production of his chronicles and short stories. Stand out in the analysis, the historical and social resonances which are understood from the fictional work of this author, with a latent itinerary, produced more than two thousand texts, during five decades, in a transit among textual genres. From the hybridization processes in the composition of the Rodriguean narrator, it was evidenced the creation and recreation of archetypes framed by themes about love relationships, betrayal and death, bounded by tragic, mythical and psychological aspects, in a writing denominated, in this research, of Performance. In this study, excerpts from the works include: O óbvio ululante (1968), A vida como ela é...(de 1961), A menina sem estrela: Memórias (de 1967) e O reacionário: memórias e confissões (do ano de 1977) e A vida como ela é... O homem fiel e outros contos (1992). From this corpus, it was searched to explore how Nelson Rodrigues records and reflects the daily life of his time and human problems.The study was based on a qualitative bibliographical research, with a methodological basis based on analyzes of the comparative literature, with theoretical approaches that subsidized reflections on the status of the author, the narrator and the intertextual processes. Besides that it also was searched the theoretical bases of the mitochristian and the critical of psychoanalytical basis. The text is organized in three chapters. The first one that presents an approach on literature as a form of aesthetic apprehension of the real and points out aspects that evidence Nelson Rodrigues as a creative subject, with a production permeated by echoes between reality and fiction. As a theoretical source, there are the contributions of Freud (2011), Benjamin (1996), Santiago (2002), Bakhtin (2002) and Lejeune (2008). Then, a second chapter, whose purpose was to exemplify the tone of an autobiographical narrative, with retrospectives and sections of self-portrait, in time and space demarcations, trying to show how Nelson Rodrigues puts the double as a narrator character in order to transcend The "real" space, to rescue the memory, in a fictional hybrid creation, with demarcations and rites of passage of love and, mainly, death, involving figures of literature and other cultural, social and political practices. For the discussions about memory, the contributions of the triad of French authors - Ricoeur (2007), Nora (1993) and Halbwachs (2006) were used. Finally, a third chapter with the study about the different aesthetic elements present in the stories with the objective of unveiling the expressive effects of these fictional projects and analyzing how these compositions, when dialoguing with other texts, reflect an archetypal and performatic nelsonrodrigueana script; the analyzes are supported by studies by Goffman (1985) Zumthor (2005/2014). With the integration of the three chapters, it was searched to highlight the insertions of the textual and contextual structures of Rodrigues, with the interpretation of the resonances provoked by the dialogues and adaptations of the texts of Nelson Rodrigues with his context of production and with his memories
Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre a obra de Nelson Rodrigues, com enfoque para indissolúvel relação entre o autor, o narrador e seus múltiplos na produção literária de suas crônicas e contos. Ressaltam-se, na análise, as ressonâncias históricas e sociais que se depreendem da obra ficcional desse autor, que, com um itinerário latente, produziu mais de dois mil textos, durante cinco décadas, num trânsito entre gêneros textuais. A partir dos processos de hibridização na composição do narrador rodrigueano, evidenciou-se a criação e a recriação de arquétipos emoldurados por temáticas sobre relacionamentos amorosos, traição e morte, cingidas de aspectos trágicos, míticos e psicológicos, numa escrita denominada, nesta pesquisa, de performática. Figuram, neste estudo, trechos das obras: O óbvio ululante (1968), A vida como ela é... (de 1961), A menina sem estrela: Memórias (de 1967) e O reacionário: memórias e confissões (do ano de 1977) e A vida como ela é... O homem fiel e outros contos (1992). A partir desse corpus, buscou-se explorar o modo como Nelson Rodrigues registra e reflete o cotidiano de seu tempo e as problemáticas humanas. O estudo deu-se a partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, qualitativa, com a base metodológica amparada em análises da literatura comparada, com abordagens teóricas que subsidiaram reflexões sobre o estatuto do autor, do narrador e dos processos intertextuais. Além disso, também foram buscadas as bases teóricas da mitocrítica e a crítica de base psicanalítica. O texto encontra-se organizado em três capítulos. Um primeiro que apresenta uma abordagem sobre a literatura como forma de apreensão estética do real e pontua aspectos que evidenciam Nelson Rodrigues como um sujeito criador, com uma produção permeada de ecos entre realidade e ficção. Como fonte teórica, estão explicitadas as contribuições de Freud (2011), Benjamin (1996), Santiago (2002), Bakhtin (2002) e Lejeune (2008). Depois, um segundo capítulo, que teve por proposta exemplificar o tom de uma narrativa autobiográfica, com retrospectivas e seções de autorretrato, em demarcações de tempo e espaço, buscando-se evidenciar como Nelson Rodrigues põe em cena o duplo como personagem narrador, para transcender o espaço real , resgatar a memória, numa criação ficcional híbrida, com demarcações e ritos de passagem de amor e, principalmente, de morte, envolvendo figuras históricas da literatura e de outras práticas culturais, sociais e políticas. Para as discussões sobre a memória, foram utilizadas as contribuições da tríade de autores franceses Ricoeur (2007), Nora (1993) e Halbwachs (2006). Por fim, um terceiro capítulo com o estudo sobre os diferentes elementos estéticos presentes nos contos com o objetivo de desvendar os efeitos expressivos desses projetos ficcionais e analisar como essas composições, ao dialogarem com outros textos, refletem uma escritura nelsonrodrigueana arquetípica e performática; as análises estão amparadas em estudos de Goffman (1985) e Paul Zumthor (2005/2014). Com a integração dos três capítulos, buscou-se evidenciar as inserções das estruturas textuais e contextuais rodrigueanas, com a interpretação das ressonâncias provocadas pelos diálogos e adaptações dos textos de Nelson Rodrigues com seu contexto de produção e com suas memórias.

Full textAbstract:
Enigmatique, poétique, fragmentaire, foisonnante, réitérative, l’œuvre de Pascal Quignard attire par son univers complexe composé de fiction, de vécu personnel, de récits fabuleux, d’érudition, de pensées philosophiques, dans lequel on rencontre des lieux qui constituent des ports d’attache et qui détiennent les secrets du temps. Ces lieux semblent structurer l’œuvre. L’auteur s’intéresse à l’esprit des lieux comme pour mieux souligner les liens invisibles et imaginaires qui se tissent entre l’homme, son territoire et son passé. Etudier l’esprit des lieux et le mythe de l’origine chez Quignard, c’est essayer de comprendre l’évocation récurrente de ce territoire devenu obsédant et sa puissance de représentation dans la création de l’écrivain. Avec le choix du double corpus, romanesque et philosophique, avec le choix d’une méthode de recherche pluridisciplinaire (critique littéraire, anthropologie, imaginaire), notre thèse se construit en trois parties, qui abordent successivement la question de l’attirance des lieux, celle du glissement de l’enchantement à la mélancolie, ainsi que les caractéristiques de l’écriture poétique et mythique de Quignard. Nous trouvons des lieux enchantés qui reflètent la Weltanschauung de l’auteur. Véritables sources de vie, de l’imagination et de la création, ils suscitent la réconciliation entre l’homme et son passé, son territoire et son identité, même si la mélancolie y demeure fondamentale. Les personnages de Quignard sont extrêmement sensibles à tout ce qui est perdu et oublié, à des maisons et lieux abandonnés, à des hommes qui sont présentés comme des enfants d’Eve exilés. Le désir de ré-enraciner, de se ré-ancrer dans le lieu d’autrefois révèle l’attachement mais aussi la défaillance, car l’homme se trouve vite confronté à ce qui est perdu, au vide. L’enchantement reste éphémère, la mélancolie nous ouvre la porte des lieux sombres. Pour mettre en lumière l’esprit des lieux, Pascal Quignard a recours à une écriture riche en réminiscences, en images, en mythes. Son œuvre est le fruit de l’imaginaire, de l’intuition. Les relations complexes entre Fragments, Réminiscences, Mémoire dans son écriture révèlent la profondeur poétique de l’œuvre, tandis que le narrateur suit l’instant, la trace des êtres, les appels lointains, toujours avec son intuition, et ses impressions de poète mélancolique. L’écrivain sert également d’anciens mythes, les transforme et les enrichit comme un moyen efficace pour créer son propre mythe des lieux : mythe du perdu, mythe du retour et mythe de l’origineEnigmatic, poetic, fragmentary, abundant, the attraction of Pascal Quignard's work comes from the complex universe of fiction, personal experiences, fabulous stories, extensive documentation and philosophical thoughts, in which some places are homeports, holding the secrets of time. Such places seem to structure the work. The author favors the spirit of places, as if to underline the invisible imaginary links between man, his territory and his past. To study the spirit of places and the origin of myth in the work of Quignard one has to try to understand the recurring evocation, which has become obsessive, of this territory, and his power of creation as writer. With the choice of a double corpus, fiction and philosophy, and a method of interdisciplinary research (literary criticism, anthropology, imagination), our thesis divides into three parts, which will examine in succession the attractiveness of places, then proceed from enchantment to melancholy, and eventually determine the characteristics of the poetic and (the) mythical writing of Quignard. We will find enchanted places that reflect the worldview of the author. They are the true sources of life, imagination and creativity, bringing about reconciliation between man and his past, his territory and his identity, even if melancholy remains fundamental in them. The characters of Quignard are extremely sensitive to all that is lost and forgotten, abandoned homes and places, and to men who are Eve's children in exile. The desire to re-root oneself into the place of the past reveals attachment but also failure, because man is quickly confronted with loss and emptiness. The enchantment remains elusive; melancholy appears constant and opens somber places in his work. To enhance the spirit of place, Quignard makes use of a rich choice of reminiscences, images and myths. His work is at the same time search for, analysis and a quest on man and his place on earth, but it is also a product of imagination and intuition. The complex relations between Fragments, Reminiscences, and Memory in his writing reveal the poetic depth of the work. The narrator also follows moment and instinct, always with the intuition and feelings of a melancholy poet. The writer also uses ancient myths and transforms and enriches them as an effective way to create his own myth of place: myth of (the) loss, myth of (the) return and the myth of (the) origin

Full textAbstract:
Due to its sensitive nature, the graveyard is often an avoided problem space within the field of design. This becomes evident from the lack of exploration and analysis in this domain. Anyhow, it represents an opportunity to test how design can mediate between sacred places, technology and people. Moreover, as a very specific context, the graveyard encompasses peculiar ways of interacting and experiencing space that deserve to be taken into account. This work discusses the notions of space and place and how the field of interaction design can benefit from them. In doing so, it investigates the hidden dimensions of the graveyard that make it a complex structure where spatial, personal and socio-cultural dimensions are intertwined. While the fieldwork aims at analysing the graveyard in its different tones of meaning (identity, memorial, cultural differences, on-site interaction) the focus of the work are the practices of memory and the role that the past has in our relation with the deceased. The result of the design process is an interactive audio system composed of a playback circuit based on Arduino and boxed into a seashell. The device is designed to be placed on the grave and store audio content. Once activated, the audio seashell allows listening and eventually recording vocal traces related to the deceased’s past. Taking into account the observed practices, rules and conventions that shape the graveyard, the role of personal and collective rituals and the meanings of all the identified artifacts, the designed system supports the experience of recalling memories in respect to the atmosphere, tempo and rhythm that characterise the graveyard.

Raymond, Emmanuelle. "Forsan et Haec olim meminisse iuuabit : recherches sur les formes et aspects de la mémoire dans l'Enéide de Virgile." Thesis, Lyon 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LYO30051.
Full textAbstract:
Ce travail s’inscrit dans le sillage des études récentes sur la mémoire culturelle et démontre comment la notion de mémoire joue un rôle clef dans le déroulement de l’Énéide. L’épopée virgilienne attire fréquemment l’attention du lecteur sur la fabrique poétique d’une atmosphère mémorielle identifiable à travers les lieux de mémoire, des objets signifiants (monimenta) et certains personnages divins et humains. Parmi ces personnages, Anchise représente la mémoire du passé et Ascagne-Iule symbolise le futur en tant qu’ancêtre de la gens Iulia, tandis qu’Énée s’affirme comme le parangon de la memoria romana. Ses choix, ses errances, son séjour carthaginois, sa catabase, sa visite de Pallantée et même le meurtre de Turnus sont imprégnés de la dialectique de la mémoire et de l’oubli. Ces observations permettent de poser un nouveau regard sur le sens général du poème et d’interroger la réception de l’Énéide comme racontant l’accomplissement des fata de Jupiter. Le poème épique renvoie aussi à la narrativisation de la conquête progressive de la mémoire par Énée, qui offre d’intéressants échos aux préoccupations augustéennes sur l’alternative embarrassante entre la vengeance (ultio) et la clémence (clementia). Le poète suscite ainsi une réflexion sur la mémoire comme un puissant moteur de l’action épique, également présentée comme un lien entre les hommes et les époques grâce à la construction d’une mémoire culturelle romaine, héritière des identités culturelles troyenne et latine. Virgile n’utilise pas seulement la mémoire comme la pierre de touche de son poème mais témoigne souvent d’une forme de « mémoire rétroverse », un concept forgé pour les besoins de ce travail. Dans plusieurs passages, Virgile regarde en effet les événements qui ont lieu à l’époque d’Énée avec la subjectivité embarquée d’un poète vivant à l’époque augustéenne. Ce point de vue rétrospectif et prospectif offre un aperçu intéressant de la construction de la mémoire dans l’épopée et de son télos augustéenThis work draws on recent studies of cultural memory and aims to demonstrate that the notion of memory has a key role to play in the unfolding plot of the Aeneid. The virgilian epic calls the reader’s attention, more often than not, to the poetic fabric of a memorial atmosphere which is identified through ‘places of memory’; meaningful and powerful objects (monimenta); and divine and human characters. From theses characters Aeneas’s family emerges: Anchises represents the past and Ascanius-Iulus embodies the future as the ancestor of the gens Iulia. Aeneas, meanwhile, is the parangon of Memoria Romana. His every choice, the wanderings, the Carthaginian temptation, the catabasis, the visit of Pallanteum and even the death of Turnus at the end of the Aeneid, are permeated throughout with the dialectic of Memory and Oblivion. These observations encourage us to reconsider the general meaning of the poem and to question the reception of the Aeneid as an accomplishment of Jupiter’s fata and the realization of divine will. For the epic poem also seems to be the narrativization of Aeneas’s progressive conquest of memory. This, in turn, suggests intriguing echoes of Augustan preoccupations with the embarrassing alternative visions of ultio and clementia.The poet also raises the suggestion of memory as a driving force behind epic action, which is equally presented as a link between individual and time, owing to the construction of a Roman cultural memory inherited from Trojan and Latin cultural identities. Not only does Vergil use memory as a cornerstone for his narrative, but he often exploits the position of « reversive memory », a concept introduced by this thesis. In many passages, Vergil looks at the events of Aeneas’s time from the embedded perspective of a poet living in Augustan times. This both retrospective and prospective point of view provides a fascinating insight into the continuous construction of epic memory and its historical télos under Augustus

Proper and dignified care for an aging population, especially those with Stage IandII Alzheimer's disease is a challenge. To stay and live in one place as conditions progress irreversibly is perhaps one of the areas where architecture could make a contribution. In addition to patients, the needs of caretakers and visiting family members play a role in the program for a new facility. As an architectural premise, the focus is directed toward an environment that is memorable, provides basic comfort, and instills a sense of belonging. Essentially, the proposal advocates an architecture made operational by providing spaces that enable deep archaic memories which seem to remain present in the psyche of Alzheimer's patients even in advanced stages.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Our minds have the ability to recall and sustain memories, so why can't architecture do the same? Our built environment exhibits the ability to form expectations of the future, while conducting investigations into the past. Every place has an identity, a location, and a memory that characterizes its existence. Memory is a component that, at the moment, may be vacant within the context of our forgotten sites, our terrain vague. These places are currently unseen, ignored, or forgotten, but this does not mean the history is unworthy of resurrection. There is certainly a story that exists, that can classify, identify, and categorize the historic capacity of these places. Without paying homage to, and focusing awareness on our past, we risk losing it completely. As our industrial era evolves into the technological age, we face a decision: to bury our past industrial sites along with their collective memories, or embrace them well into the future. To address this topic I will research, plan, and design an appropriate solution to the port/waterfront area of Bellingham, Washington. This 170 acre location was once the home of the thriving Georgia Pacific pulp mill that has now been terminated due to economic changes. Not only has this site been socially forgotten, it has been physically mistreated and neglected with the introduction of toxins that affect and systematically dismantle the local ecology. The importance of this site is evident because it represents industrial sites throughout our coastlines that have been closed down and/or re-programmed. Without proper recognition, we will be unable to sustain the historical relevance of this site, along with many more. Our society should always keep one foot in the past while making a simultaneous stride towards the future.

Trigg, Dylan. "Memory and place : a phenomenological study." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2009. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.496858.
Full textAbstract:
Research on the relationship between place, memory, and identity has tended to focus on either 'felicitous' instances of domesticity (Bachelard, 1994), or on the unambiguous dualism between what constitutes a sense of place and what has perniciously been termed 'site', place divested of its specificity and reduced to a non-place (Casey, 1993, 1997, 2000). My thesis is a rejoinder to this dualism by redirecting the focus toward the memory of places that challenge rather than reinforce our sense of identity. In this way, I hope to advance a more nuanced and progressive understanding of the role place plays in shaping identity, a role that extends to transitional as well as domestic places. I achieve this by performing a phenomenological analysis on the ambiguous entwinement between place and memory, in both an everyday, transitional, and traumatic context. As I argue in my thesis, far from an additional component of memory and history, the spatiality of the past is not only central in the preservation of history but also fundamental to its emergence in the first instance. This implicit rejection of memory as being solely a temporal event leads me to a series of investigations aimed at assessing how memory can become spatialized and how space can be memorialised. Between this dynamic, the role of the body assumes a pivotal role in both facilitating access to the past but also problematizing that access, especially where the memory of trauma is concerned. Against the tendency to split place into dualistic 'modes', my account of the body as a mediator between self and world serves to undermine this dualism by arguing for a morphological rather than divisive absorption of place.

Throughout this thesis three main categories will be addressed. Memory: a: the power or process of reproducing or recalling what has been learned and retained especially through associative mechanisms b: the store of things learned and retained from an organism's activity or experience as evidence by modification of structure or behavior or by recall or recognition¹ Sense: a: the faculty of perceiving by means of sense organs b: a specialized function or mechanism (as sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch) by which an animal receives and responds to internal or external stimuli² Architecture: a: formation or construction resulting from or as if from a conscious act

Full textAbstract:
Place is shaped by history, culture, and memory. Each person who enters a place experiences it uniquely. The city is the embodiment of place. Contained within it are the memories and stories of people passed, “nothing is experienced by itself, but always in relation to its surroundings, the sequence of events leading up to it, the memory of past experiences”. The city is a combination of places strung together by individual experiences. But when the memories of these places are lost, so too is their power of place. A place that seems routine today may have been a place of passion a hundred years ago. People attempt to mark these places, but their significance is still lost on the everyday person, if only because the mark shows no power or passion.
In order to counter the effect (or lack of effect) of the current day historic site, one must reach into the past and bring it jarringly into the present consciousness. It is not enough to have a text or graphic panel explaining what significant historical event happened at some location, there needs to be experience attached to it. The historic marker often highlights more than just a location; it can mark an event or a person who has contributed greatly to the story of that place. Place making has been around for centuries, but it only seems to be creating places of the present. Historic markers in cities have become mundane street furniture, when they should be beacons and pathways to the past.
The design proposal for creating relevance and significance at historic places is not an easy one. By using a city that is already filled with historic sites, Philadelphia, the common historic marker can be revolutionized to create significant places and human connection. The case study of Philadelphia, with its deep and colorful history, creates a basis for implementation in myriad cities. This city is already filled with markers making note of important people and places of the past. These markers are mostly inconspicuous, blue and gold metal signs too high to read unless you are fifteen feet away. This proposal takes a handful of the significant places in Philadelphia and weaves them together to tell the story of life in the city throughout the 19th Century. These stories connect people of the present with the stories and people of the past in innovative ways.
The stories focus on three different aspects of history: Arts & Commerce, People & History, and Industry & Technology. The sites are located where significant buildings once stood, and use various layers of design to create a unique sense of place. Graphics, story, and experience unify the sites. The environmental interventions include kiosk structures, projections, paving, and signage, as well as lighting and aural solutions. The installations are created for the people who live and work in the city. This audience already has a connection with the place; the markers serve as a tool to strengthen this connection. They allow the city and its residents to “move into the future without abandoning the past”.
In order to keep up with current trends, a mobile application will be developed to accompany the physical interventions. The application serves as an additional layer of design by using video and augmented reality formats. The application is a database for all the markers and allows the user to chart their progress on their journey to the sites. It allows users to explore additional content related to the sites and interaction with their environment in a unique way.
This proposal creates a new way of experiencing historic sites within Philadelphia, but its implications are worldwide. The visitors to the sites become more aware of their surroundings and gain a stronger connection with their city’s history and the people of the past. It allows residents of the city to experience Philadelphia in ways that could not have been imagined before. By creating places for history to come alive and renewing memories long forgotten, the site interventions create spaces that link personal stories to the city, pushing its histories into the present, and perhaps finally answering the question, “Do people make place, or does place make people?”

Full textAbstract:
Architecture today does not respond to memory, the essence of character. As a result, a disengagement exists between people and place. In a world of constant movement a sense of place is not only uncommon but in some instances unknown; we are continuously in a state of motion. We commonly forget why we are here, who settled the land we now inhabit. We forget that life is more than technology bombarding us at every instant; it is more than work and more than financial success. We forget that life can be more. Architecture is also in this state of constant motion, financial success is placed ahead of experience, and as a result places become indifferent, unmemorable, and apathetic. Memory must not be put to the wayside; it is the bond that connects us to our culture. It enables our will to dream. Architecture can be the means of remembering. By cueing memory through emotion and sensory detail, one is able to pause and recall past events. The dilapidation of one’s environment can also cue memory. The act of showing the passage of time makes the past come alive. By responding to these aspects architecture becomes an indication of memory. As a result we will be connected to the land on which we live and have a reason to call that place home. We will have a heightened sense of place. Alienation and placelessness will be no more. The inevitable result of engaging memory in architecture will produce memorable spaces that inspire us, leaving us with a sense of belonging. The intention of this thesis is to illustrate that architecture is capable of unlocking memory, both collective and personal, through materials, form, and experience. This will evoke personal insights and ultimately provide memorable architecture that enhances a sense of place. As a result, we will be brought back to the days of childhood, to imagination, to a life full of meaningful events that imprint memories on the soul.

This arts-informed inquiry uses auto-photography, rephotography, interviews, memory work and writing about the photograph as tools to draw out of the archive an understanding of the self-in-place. I focus on memory and photography in an autotopographical (following Heddon) exploration of topographical intimacy as it relates to childhood and current landscapes, known and unknown spaces. Using place as common ground, I interview my siblings to excavate our shared childhood place memories. I then photograph/rephotograph these remembered childhood places, looking to identify the influence of place on childhood identity. This research with siblings was a rich and storied resource. I also enter two public spaces with my camera, the Architectural Garden of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal and the Jim Everett Memorial Park in Vancouver, to map both the place and my relationship with/in it, and in so doing, to engage with photography itself. By creating what one might call place photo albums, I attempt to create an involvement with previously unknown spaces, hoping to link past and present places. I explore the evidential and embodied usefulness of photography in establishing topographical intimacy with/in place and confirm the importance of using place as a means of exploring identity. Photography's use as an active device of memory and its value in documenting place for inquiry is made explicit.Cette recherche faite en connaissance des arts utilise l'auto-photographie, la rephotographie, des entrevues et un travail de mémoire et d'écrit sur la photo en tant qu'outil permettant de soutirer des archives une compréhension du soi dans l'espace.

Full textAbstract:
The protein synthesis inhibitors cycloheximide and anisomycin were administered during training in an attempt to block the consolidation of the memory for a morphine conditioned place preference. The systemic injection of 2.5mg/kg of cycloheximide post-training failed to block consolidation, though there was a trend towards an attenuated preference, however cycloheximide produced a conditioned place aversion if paired with one compartment. To examine the effect of more complete protein synthesis inhibition and reduce the aversive effects, the less toxic protein synthesis inhibitor anisomycin was infused into the lateral ventricles of the brain either pre-, post- or 3 hours following training. Post-training infusions of anisomycin blocked the formation of a conditioned place preference, while pre-training and 3 hours post-training infusions showed no significant effect over two conditioning pairings. It was concluded that drug conditioning in the place preference paradigm requires protein synthesis for memory consolidation as do other learning paradigms.

"Mobilités touristiques et vacancières : une enquête socio-anthropologique sur l’articulation entre travail, vacances, congés et tourisme des sénégalais à l’intérieur du Sénégal à partir des lieux, des pratiques et des représentations." Thesis, Bourgogne Franche-Comté, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020UBFCC008.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur « les mobilités touristiques des sénégalais à l’intérieur du Sénégal », en mettant l’accent sur l'articulation entre vacances, congés, loisirs et pratiques touristiques chez les travailleurs sénégalais au Sénégal. Elle vise à témoigner des pratiques touristiques sénégalaises, vue de l’intérieur, en se démarquant d’une vision « européanocentrée » du tourisme. J’ai opté pour une approche qualitative basée sur des entretiens semi-directifs, auprès d’hommes et de femmes salariés des administrations publiques et privées du Sénégal. Dans la première partie de la thèse, je propose une auto-analyse qui m'a permis de cerner la problématique des vacances et du tourisme en partant d’un retour réflexif sur mes propres pratiques touristiques et sur mes pratiques de terrain. Non seulement ce rapport au terrain a engendré des « malentendus productifs », notamment l'émergence d'une double posture de « chercheur-expert » que j'ai mobilisée pour me maintenir sur le terrain et faciliter mon accès aux enquêtés, mais il a également contribué à la formulation d’hypothèses pour analyser les pratiques vacancières et touristiques des travailleurs sénégalais au Sénégal.Dans la deuxième partie, j’ai analysé la relation entre les temps sociaux dans le processus qui conduit à la pratique touristique. En portant mon regard sur la manière dont ces différents temps interagissent et s’interpénètrent dans la vie sociale des salariés, j’ai relevé les « stratégies » et les « tactiques » que les salariés Sénégalais mettent en place afin de conquérir le droit de partir en congé et de négocier leur affranchissement vis-à-vis de l’activité travail. La socialisation des salariés, surtout au moment des vacances a, en outre, une grande implication dans le processus décisionnel de partir ou de rester. Les décisions prises par les salariés reposent autant sur la mobilisation de valeurs (altruisme) permettant de consolider les liens familiaux que sur la disposition de ressources financières ainsi que les contraintes liées à l’environnement social et de travail. Dans la troisième partie, je montre que la pratique touristique est un processus qui résulte d'influences internes notamment de la famille, des proches etc., mais aussi d’influences externes telles que les touristes occidentaux ou des proches de la diaspora venus passer des vacances au Sénégal. Ce qui m’a permis de mettre en avant le rôle du regard de soi et d’autrui dans la construction de l’identité sénégalaise à travers la manière dont les autochtones se mettent à la place des voyageurs, des touristes, des expatriés qui viennent visiter le pays. Comme cela peut aussi être le cas durant les évènements festifs tels que le Magal de Touba, qui favorise le déplacement de milliers d’individus, à travers tout le pays afin de se rendre au pèlerinage. En cela, l’image du Sénégal est réinventée par les sénégalais eux-mêmes. Ce qui induit un changement du rapport au pays, à la nation, favorisé par une prise de conscience de leur capacité à se montrer le pays entre eux, et de manière à le faire exister sous le regard de tous. L’identité touristique sénégalaise se construit ainsi par la pratique des lieux sous l’influence d’ « autrui significatifs », qui contribuent à façonner, chez les sénégalais, un autre regard sur le SénégalThis thesis focuses on "the tourist mobility of Senegalese people within Senegal", with an emphasis on the link between holidays, holidays, leisure and tourist practices among Senegalese workers in Senegal. It aims to reflect Senegalese tourism practices, seen from the inside, by distinguishing itself from a "European-centred" vision of tourism. I opted for a qualitative approach based on semi-directive interviews with men and women employed in Senegal's public and private administrations.In the first part of the thesis, I propose a self-analysis that has allowed me to identify the problems of holidays and tourism based on a reflexive feedback on my own tourism practices and on my field practices. Not only has this relationship with the field generated "productive misunderstandings", in particular the emergence of a dual posture of "expert researcher" that I mobilized to maintain myself in the field and facilitate my access to the respondents, but it has also contributed to the formulation of hypotheses to analyze the vacation and tourism practices of Senegalese workers in Senegal.In the second part, I analysed the relationship between social times in the process leading to tourism practice. By looking at the way in which these different times interact and interpenetrate in the social life of employees, I have noted the "strategies" and "tactics" that Senegalese employees put in place in order to conquer the right to go on leave and negotiate their freedom from work activity. The socialization of employees, especially during holidays, has, in addition, a great involvement in the decision-making process of leaving or staying. Decisions taken by employees are based as much on the mobilization of values (altruism) to strengthen family ties as on the availability of financial resources and constraints related to the social and work environment.In the third part, I show that tourism practice is a process that results from internal influences, particularly from family, relatives, etc., but also from external influences such as Western tourists or diaspora relatives who come to spend holidays in Senegal. This has allowed me to highlight the role of the view of oneself and others in the construction of Senegalese identity through the way in which indigenous people put themselves in the shoes of travellers, tourists and expatriates who come to visit the country. As can also be the case during festive events such as the Magal de Touba, which encourages the movement of thousands of people throughout the country to go on pilgrimage. In this respect, Senegal's image is being reinvented by the Senegalese themselves. This leads to a change in the relationship with the country, with the nation, promoted by an awareness of their ability to show the country to each other, and in such a way as to make it exist before the eyes of all. Senegalese tourist identity is thus constructed through the practice of places under the influence of "significant others", who contribute to shaping, among Senegalese, another view of Senegal

Full textAbstract:
Our memory of place is a reaction to the relationships we share throughout our cultural existence. Memory and place are influenced by familiar modes of sensory exchange between man and his/hers surrounding within the perceived and unperceived world. These exchanges design the episode of our circumstance as humans and provide a guideline for our quest to identify with each other. The history and memory of a place provides evidence for the individual and community by recording functions of exchange through the shaping of our environment. All people share modes of exchange which transcend the cultural boundaries of being, but these modes can be buried by temporary patterns of social and economic habits. We must retrace the moments found within the memory and history of places for public exchange by revealing the basic elements of humanity. These elements pertain to Martin Heidegger's 'fourfold' and the four principle architectural spaces found in the clearing, path, dwelling, and burial. Revealing transparencies within the network of memories simplifies the method of extracting the importance of exchange for a specific place. The place becomes a design proposal supported by the functions of the past while engaging the present and future modes of exchange. The North American Medieval design proposal uses functions of the clearing as design guidelines for a future of public exchange within the urban core. Trenton, NJ is an example of the rise and fall most North American cities experience when industry and technology shift and the foundation of exchange are forgotten. Trenton, NJ is one of many cities with the opportunity to absorb the suburban populous as our nation shifts towards densification and urbanity. By tracing the memory and function of the clearing through European and American culture we find a clear social, economic, and physical circumstance for growth of the public market place. Mapping out layers of urban development using the four basic architectural elements will expose the locations for exchange within the urban core. The marketplace fosters a sense of 'gathering' and supports livable relationships connected by the phenomenology of human exchange.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with how the Greek peoples, of primarily the classical period, collectively commemorated the Persian Wars. The data studied within this project are public monuments, which include both physical and behavioural commemorations. A quantitative methodology is employed within this thesis and is a novel approach by which to study Persian War public monuments. This method of analysis allows for a more holistic approach to the data. Through analysing commemorative monuments quantitatively this project, figuratively, re-joins object and context. Studies on Persian War commemoration tend to focus on singular monument types, individual commemorative places, a particular commemorating group, or a specific battle. To think plurally about the ancient Greek commemorative tradition is to refocus attention on the whole incorporating all known commemorative monuments, places, and groups. What emerges from this study is a varied commemorative tradition expressed over space and time. Commemoration of conflict is presented here as a process of exchange, a dialogue between the past and the present. This thesis challenges the idea that a unified pan-Hellenic memory of the Persian Wars existed from the culmination of the conflict and illustrates the varied collective memories and narratives that could be created about the past.

Daniels, Jill. "Memory, place and subjectivity : experiments in independent documentary filmmaking." Thesis, University of East London, 2014. http://roar.uel.ac.uk/3929/.
Full textAbstract:
The research in this doctoral thesis focuses on the mediation of place, memory and identity in experimental western documentary films and contains film theory and film practice components. It is comprised of the production of two experimental documentary films ─ Not Reconciled (41 minutes) (2009) and The Border Crossing (47 minutes) (2011) ─ and a 50,000 word written exegesis that analyses those films and films made by others. The key analytic approaches I deploy are located within the framework of film studies, trauma and memory studies and theories of space, landscape and spectatorship. My aim is to advance a critical understanding of the opportunities and limitations in the cinematic strategies that are available to experimental documentary filmmakers in the mediation of place and memory, including trauma and autobiography. The goal of the experimental film is to offer alternative and different ways of thinking to mainstream films about methods deployed in the mediation of the historical event. The notion of experimental begins and ends with uncertainty rather than verisimilitude. Experimental documentary film aims to open the window of uncertainty a little wider to offer an expanded discussion of the subject of the exploration. My thesis contextualises my discussion of experimental documentary filmmaking by outlining the history and development of independent filmmaking in Britain, with a specific focus on my own development as an independent experimental filmmaker. I argue that where subjects live and where their identities are formed, are central to memory and experience. Place may be represented in experimental documentary films, therefore, not as an adjunct to space or as a support to subjectivities but as a character that is foregrounded and interacts with memory and subjects. Subjectivities, including autobiography through the filmmaker’s voice as subject and [iii] filmmaker, are central in my cinematic mediation of memory and traumatic experiences and I devote specific focus to spectatorial engagement with films. I argue that there are difficulties in the mediation of traumatic experiences and that therefore strategies of evocation are needed. I argue that there are similar difficulties in relying on classical linear narrative in articulating memory and narratives of association may be more effective. Finally, I argue in this thesis that an experimental documentary film may deploy disparate filmic strategies such as realism, metaphor, allegory and fiction, yet still remain identifiably a documentary film.

Full textAbstract:
Applying conceptual ideas of memory and propaganda, this study intends to shed light on feature films produced during the Third Reich which gave prominence to the Great War. Since the National Socialist movement presented an image of itself as not only part of the tradition of the 'undefeated German soldier' of the First World War, but also sought to rectify the perceived political injustices of the conflict, this study defines 'Great War films' as not only those which were set during the conflict, but also productions which used the immediate aftermath of the war and the 'post-war period' as the reference points for their plots. By using the National Socialists' own very broad conception of what the Great War signified, this study has identified a corpus of around fifty films which are the main object of the analysis. The principal question which the thesis intends to answer is: How did National Socialist film define the Great War, in what way did it portray the experience and consequences of war, and what did it attempt to communicate about that conflict and its aftermath? In order to provide an answer, attention will be given to the censorship process and other efforts to influence film-making. At the centre of the study is the analysis of specific features which recurred in the majority of the films: common to the two major categories of film were points of consistency in the portrayal of various 'enemies', women and soldiers; also significant were the ways in which the experience of war and peace were portrayed; more common to films dealing with the war were references to the hotly disputed issue of 'war guilt'; more common to the films dealing with 'post-war' was the connection made between defeat and the prospect of a brighter future under the National Socialists.

xi, 64 p. : ill. (some col.)In humans and other mammals the hippocampus is critical for episodic memories, or memories of events that happen in a particular place and at a particular time. When one records from hippocampal pyramidal neurons in awake, behaving rodents, however, the most obvious firing correlate of these neurons is the animal's position within the environment, earning them the name "place cells". Their aggregate activity is thought to provide the animal with a "cognitive map": a map-like neural representation of the external world used to solve spatial problems. Since rats' ability to take shortcuts through novel space was the major evidence leading Edward Tolman to propose the concept of a cognitive map, it follows that place cells should exist for parts of the environment that the animal has not directly-experienced. We therefore compared the relative stability of place cells recorded from rats in observed versus directly explored parts of an environment in response to a pharmacological manipulation that preferentially destabilizes newly-generated place fields. In contrast to the classical cognitive map hypothesis, the formation of stable place fields clearly requires direct experience with a space, suggesting place cells are part of an autobiographical record of events and their spatial context rather than a map-like representation of space automatically calculated from observed environmental geometry.

McIntyre, Ruth Anne. "Memory, Place, and Desire in Late Medieval British Pilgrimage Narratives." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2008. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/english_diss/31.
Full textAbstract:
In this study, I read late medieval vernacular texts of Mandeville’s Travels, Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale, and Margery Kempe’s Book in terms of memory, place and authorial identity. I show how each author constructs ethos and alters narrative form by using memory and place. I argue that the discourses of memory and place are essential to authorial identity and anchor their eccentric texts to traditional modes of composition and orthodoxy. In Chapter one, I argue that memory and place are essential tools in creating authorial ethos for the Wife of Bath, Margery Kempe, and John Mandeville. These writers use memory and place to anchor their eccentric texts in traditional modes of composition and orthodoxy. Chapter two reads Mandeville’s treatment of holy places as he constructs authority by using rhetorical appeals to authority via salvation history and memory. His narrative draws on multiple media, multiple texts, memoria, and collective memory. Chapter three examines the rhetorical strategy of the Wife of Bath’s Prologue and Tale as directly linked to practices of memoria, especially in her cataloguing of ancient and medieval authorities and scripture. Chaucer’s Wife legitimates her travel and experience through citing and quoting from medieval common-place texts and ultimately makes a common-place text of her own personal experience. Chapter four argues that memory is the central structuring strategy and the foundation for Margery’s arguments for spiritual authority and legitimacy in The Book of Margery Kempe. I read the Book’s structure as a strategic dramatization of Margery’s authority framed by institutional spaces of the Church and by civic spaces of the medieval town. Chapter five considers the implications of reading the intersections of memory and place in late-medieval construction of authority for vernacular writers as contributing to a better understanding of medieval authorial identity and a clearer appreciation of structure, form, and the transformation of the pilgrimage motif into the travel narrative genre. This project helps strengthen ties between the fields of medieval literature, women’s writing and rhetoric(s), and Genre Studies as it charts the interface between discourse, narrative form, and medieval conceptions of memory and authorial identity.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the role of place and ritual performance in the construction of subjectivities and social memories in relation to the 1890s Ghost Dance, a North American pan-Indian ritually-centered social movement that began in western Nevada and spread from the West Coast through the Great Plains during the last decade of the nineteenth century. This dissertation also explores efforts to alternatively preserve, promote, and eradicate practices representing two inherently contradictory spatial regimes, or ways of living as Beings-in-the-World. Such an analysis is done through the study of ritual and social responses to the spatial disruptions and collective identity ruptures evinced by Westward expansionism on the native peoples of the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau called the Numa. This research is designed to advance knowledge of Ghost Dance ceremonial sites and ritual praxis in the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau. This is done through the isolation of physiographic characteristics, performance characteristics, and cultural inscription practices contributing to the selection, valuation, and use of particular ritual settings for Ghost Dance performances. I hypothesized that three types of sites, World Balancing Places, Regional Balancing Sites, and Local Balancing Sites, or Regions of Refuge, were used for ceremonialism associated with the Ghost Dance among Numic people. Type I sites are ceremonial sites that were used consistently before the arrival of Euroamericans and continued to be used during the late nineteenth century for the performance of the Ghost Dances. Both World and Local Balancing Places are Type 1 Sites. Type II sites are defined as places that were selected as ceremonial sites after encroachment activities made the performance characteristics of Type I Sites nonviable. The social unit of the present analysis is the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau. The current methodological framework has been formulated with the intent of producing a holistic treatment of Numic ritual landscapes as evidenced in Ghost Dance ceremonial sites. To this end, I have adopted an intersubjective and iterative approach that utilizes performance and narrative studies, behavioral archaeology, cultural landscape studies, and phenomenology. This research aims to contribute to the theory and methodology underscoring National Historic Preservation efforts.
